 * Hi,
 * Excellent plugin, doing all the stuff that the Total theme does (expanding images
   on hover) to keep things looking spot on across the board.
 * I’m finding that there’s one problem however, and that’s in the setting for ‘
   Random’ posts.
 * No matter what I do, I always get the same three posts appearing when the widget
   setting is set to ‘Random’.
 * These are CPTs so maybe that’s the problem? Shouldn’t be though, as the CPT is
   appearing in the post widget.
 * Settings I’ve got are:
 * Post Type – CPT. Query by Taxonomy – No, Include and Exclude terms – both empty,
   Order – Descending, Order by – Random.
 * Some help on this minor issue would be most appreciated.

 * Hang on – cancel that last error report.
 * It’s not this plugin!
 * I’m about to try it out now 🙂
